Abstract: The Bacillus subtilis ZF-1 and use thereof in inhibiting African swine fever virus are provided. A Bacillus subtilis strain (CCTCC NO: M2022185) is screened and selected from 95 self-preserved strains with an inhibiting effect on African swine fever virus. The strain has a remarkable anti-ASFV effect in vivo and in vitro through anti-infection research at a cell level and an animal body level, can reduce proliferation of the virus in a pig body and damage of ASFV infection to tissues and organs, can effectively control adverse effects of ASFV infection on the body, and can be used for preventing and controlling African swine fever epidemics.

Abstract: Techniques for performing prefetching for a ranking service in a microservice architecture are provided. In one technique, in response to receiving a content request, an entity identifier of an entity associated with the content request is determined, a host of a second service that is different than the first service is determined. The first service sends the entity identifier to the host of the second service. The second service retrieves entity feature data that is associated with the entity identifier. The first service identifies a set of content delivery campaigns, identifies the host of the second service, and sends the identity of the set of content delivery campaigns to the host of the second service. The host of the second service determines a ranking of the set of content delivery campaigns, a subset thereof is selected, and data about each selected campaign is transmitted over a computer network.
